About "Primal ground - impermanence"

by Hans Kwaspen

About the artwork

Primal soil is my ode to impermanence-to what is left behind when time has done its work. In this work, I have captured a skin of material that has slowly formed under the influence of erosion, rust and silence. The vertical transition between the two halves feels like a border: not just between form and emptiness, but between what was and what is no longer.

My inspiration comes from the thought of German philosopher Meister Eckhart, who sees the primal ground as the source from which everything springs. But that origin is not clean or new-it is worn, tried, layered. While photographing, I was struck by how beauty lies not in perfection, but in the traces of passing.

The atmosphere is meditative and earthy. In the spirit of artists like Alberto Burri and Aaron Siskind's photographic abstraction, matter is central. Here, the surface speaks: every crack, discolouration and layer tells something about time, decay and resistance.

What makes this work special is how it not only shows, but makes tangible-a sense of silent transformation. As a work of art on the wall, it invites you to fall still, look, and see something of yourself again in that which has almost disappeared.
